Tel Aviv is not accepted as capital city because nobody declared it as capital city. All government offices are in the west part of Jerusalem which is within the recognised borders of Israel. If anyone wanted to "recognise" a capital they could just call it west Jerusalem or something like that. Tel Aviv is one hour away. So it is a subtle political statement rather than factual news.
